A set built around its knight
The Royal is recognised by its hand-carved, highly detailed knight: DGT designed all the other pieces to match it. The pieces are handmade, from quality wood, with a careful finish.
Tournament size, weighted
The pieces are tournament size, with a 9.5 cm king, and they are weighted: the set weighs 1.19 kg. DGT sees these as pieces that move with clarity and precision. As with all DGT sets, a second queen is supplied in each colour, so you can play a promotion without an improvised piece. The set arrives in a DGT gift box.
The counterpart to the Royal electronic pieces
This set follows the design of DGT's Royal electronic pieces. The manufacturer intends it in particular for tournaments playing with these electronic pieces: tables without an electronic chess board thus keep the same set as the others. It suits home play just as well.
Before you order
You receive the pieces alone, without a chess board. They are not electronic: if you play on a DGT e-Board or Smart Board and want your moves recorded, choose the Royal electronic pieces, sold on other listings in the shop in a standard, weighted version, as DGT pairs its electronic chess boards with its electronic pieces.
